As for the processors, the ‘brains’ in charge of running all the applications and games that we install will be two different models. Qualcomm for the Redmi Note 12 5G with a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, an entry-level processor that offers high-level efficiency. On the other hand, Mediatek for the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G and 12 Pro+ 5G, and here a powerful dimension 1080 who will not resist anything.
